Terry Lynn Nuchols has been in prison before. Curiously enough, his prison web page lists one of his aliases as "Samantha Flourenze Shelton". He was convicted of forgery of checks, grand larceny and murder in 1985 and given a life sentence.

I don't know when he was released but he was eligible for release in 2006. Now it looks like he's going back to prison for a long time.

He and his photo can be found by his TDOC ID:00094377 at the Tennessee Department of Corrections.

This article came out in 2020 and there has never been any updates about it. It is interesting because Mel Hall Road is connected to Jos Way, where Terry Nuchols lived. I've always thought the body could be Michael, but nothing more has ever been released. I don't know where exactly on Mel Hall Road the remains were found, but his house does back up to a pretty large wooded area that goes up to Mel Hall Road.
